Remove Photo Metadata (EXIF & GPS)

Remove location and camera data from your photos

Every photo your phone takes carries hidden metadata — a block of EXIF data recording where you were (GPS coordinates), what device you used, and the exact date and time. When you send that photo, that information usually travels with it. This tool removes it, entirely inside your browser, before you ever share the file.

What gets removed

• GPS location — the coordinates of where the photo was taken.
• Camera and device info — make, model, lens, and settings.
• Timestamps — the original capture date and time.

For JPEGs the metadata block is stripped out without touching the image itself, so there is no quality loss — the pixels are identical, only the hidden data is gone. For PNGs the image is re-encoded, which rebuilds it cleanly without embedded text chunks. After processing, the tool tells you exactly how many fields it removed and whether GPS was among them.

Why this one has to run locally

A metadata remover that uploads your photo to a server to "clean" it has already done the exact thing you were trying to prevent: it handed your location and your original file to someone else. Doing it in the browser is the only version of this tool that actually keeps its promise. You can confirm nothing is sent in your network inspector, and it works with your connection switched off.

What it doesn't do

This removes metadata; it does not alter or blur the visible image. If a photo shows a street sign or a reflection that identifies a location, that is in the picture itself and stripping EXIF won't change it.
